Abstract :
The AN/APY-6 is an X-band radar developed by Northrop Grumman under ONR (Office of Naval Research) sponsorship. It was developed to provide all-speed target detection, location, tracking, imaging and exploitation. It was installed in a USA Navy NP-3 aircraft in July 1999 and continues to undergo testing and demonstration in the NP-3. This paper presents test results in the form of SAR, GMTI and tracking imagery obtained from programs in which the NP-3 has participated. These include the DARPA Affordable Moving & Stationary Target Exploitation (AMSTE) GMTI precision location program and a number of USN fleet battle exercises (FBE) and the NATO Clean Hunter 2000 exercises
